Cain, Abel, and Buried Trauma—Genesis 4

<p>Am I my brother's keeper? Cain asks G-d after killing his brother. In Sunday and Sabbath Day school's this story of fratricide turns into a simple moral tale, but as always Liam Hooper takes us deeper. He explores the ways G-d probes and seeks to draw out Cain.</p> <p>The subsequent discussion with Peterson Toscano raises other questions, as he and Liam reflect on the knee-jerk reactions by some white men (cis, gay, and trans) in conversations about historic race and gender oppression. </p> <p>Peterson follows up with "another text," <a href='https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/146804/in-an-artist39s-studio'>In an Artist's Studio</a>, a poem by Christina Rossetti.  </p> Available NOW!
